Billed as a place where "altitude affects attitude," Asheville is located in the French Broad River Valley and surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Everyone in and around Asheville knows the best part of living here is the thrill that hits you whenever you realize there's a mountain outside your window. For well over a century, the local topography has influenced everything from arts and crafts to city development to outdoors activities.

Diverse real estate options characterize the greater Asheville area. Within a short drive of the city center, it is entirely possible to consider a downtown condo, rural farm, suburban home in a gated community, or an older home in one of the historic neighborhoods surrounding downtown Asheville.

Asheville home buyers are encountering tightening supply in neighborhood centers like
West Asheville's Haywood Road, downtown Asheville, and the newly created Biltmore Park. The reduced supply of homes for sale and increasing home prices are encouraging home buyers to consider options outside of Asheville city limits. Home sellers in communities such as Woodfin, Marshall, Candler, and Mills River are all adjusting to this new level of interest.
